Here you can find some exercises for your practice. I strongly suggest to try to solve them before looking at the solutions and re-solve them after you understood the solutions.
The following video will help you clarifying the business about finding bases. My suggestion is to copy on a paper the diagram that appears on the left side of the blackboard and to use it while you solve exercises.
